'Raju & I' wins prize at Italian animation fest - News from Animation Express

Raju & I bags National award
No dubt that bagging awards must have become a routine thing for Animagic, but this is big. The National awards were announced on wendnesday and Raju & I has won in the animation category.

What next Animagic?

Looking forward to posting pics of Chetan and Gayatri with the president of India.

Directed by Gayatri Rao, commissioned and distributed by childrens charitable trust ASEEMA, the 30 minute short film was made on a shoestring budget of US$50,000. The animation being mostly hand drawn, the film was two years in the making.

When contacted, Animagic India spokesperson Romel Dias said that "'Raju & I' is aimed at creating an awareness about social conditions and deals with issues faced by underprivileged children, as seen from the eyes of a 12-year-old city boy."

a close friend of mine Shailja Jain has done the backgrounds for the film.
Cheers Shailja. ;-)
Cheers to Indian animation!
